interview said:As the UBT expands, Einiger said, organizers plan to offer more "open" tournaments - meaning you don't need an invitation to compete, just a willingness to put up the cash for the entry fee. The Season 2 slate includes at least two big events scheduled for Las Vegas, at the Palms in April and at the Venetian in July.
I found the article extremely slanted, maybe totally bias is a better term. Couple that with a few inaccuracies and you have something that makes for less than desirable reading.
